Description

A lightly raced 5 year old gelding, having only 11 starts for 1 win and 1 place. As he is bred to stay (Sebring/Ballatusa), he has been given time and is sound. At his first attempt at a race distance beyond 1400m, he won at the Gold Coast over 1900m. We feel he will be well suited to provisional/country type staying races, but does prefer harder ground.
